Yeah, that makes sense. However, what probably happened over the last
years is that people requesting being added to repositories.xml either:
a. copied a random entry and inherited the attributes from it,
b. made their own decision arbitrarily,
and in case of user requests, a Gentoo developer probably merged
the request without even looking at the values of these attributes.

GURU specifically falls on the edge between these two definitions.
On one hand, by definition it is entirely maintained by users.
On the other, it is an official Gentoo project, and goes through some
kind of vetting process (i.e. Gentoo devs approve TCs, TCs and devs
review changes before pushing them to the main branch).
